I have been suffering with a chronic cough for a number of years now and was referred by my GP to see a specialist respiratory doctor. When I met Dr Seevaratnam he was very patient and understanding and listened to everything I had to say. I have seen many doctors, but Dr Seevaratnam went above and beyond trying to help diagnosis and cure my cough. He conducted tests and called me multiple times to check up on me. The best doctor I have seen. He showed great care and really wanted to help me diagnose my cough.

Dr Seevaratnam has kept me up to date throughout the whole process whilst providing the right level of information to me when explaining concepts around what may be going on with my health and keeping me at ease through discussing the ideas and logic behind why certain tests are being undertaken.

Seeva has been a great help to me over the whole of 2021. I've had a succession of medical conditions over the whole of the year and he has always been patient, knowledgeable and exceedingly kind. I have known Seeva for 5 years or so, and he has always shown me the same gentle but strong attitude to the demands that I make of him. He is "unflappable " and always seeks to find practical ways to help me.

Could not be happier with Dr Murugiah Seevaratnam. A true professional in his field, and a doctor that looks at the bigger picture. Really easy to talk to, listens to your concerns, and addresses them one by one. A very thorough doctor. I felt as though my usual doctors weren't listening to me, where as with Dr Seevaratnam, we discussed at length my background and the struggles I have faced, and carried out numerous blood tests to rule out any issues there. Could not recommend highly enough.

Dear Dr Seevaratnam Thank you for coming to see me at the Spire Hospital in Harpenden on the 7th of October. On the 6th the day after a TURP I found myself on the floor of my room on two occasions with no understanding of how I got there. You diagnosed Postural Hypotension as the cause. In June this year I had a fractured neck of femur and Postural Hypotension after the anaesthetic I was given for surgery to the hip which delayed my leaving hospital at that time. Your diagnosis reassured me that I was not losing my marbles in old age and reassured the nurses allowing them to discharge me from hospital. As regards my essential tremor I have not noticed any amelioration from drinking alcohol. So I am very grateful for your visit but do not think that your further review is necessary. Thank you John
